In before Orphnochs are all revealed to just be really hardcore smokers.

I mean, sorry? I never know if the shit I care about is of interest to the fandom at large, so when a weak episode has a strong ending, my assumption is that that papers over a lot of the flaws in people's memory. I'm sorry if I'm being dismissive or reductive!

It just felt so frustrating to give him the spotlight so late in the run, and have it be so disconnected from the main characters. He doesn't share a dialogue scene with any of them, and the stakes of the conflict are never made clear to the heroes. It just didn't sit right with me.

I completely did forget the name of Kaixa's bike, thank you! In fairness, that name hasn't been uttered onscreen... maybe ever? And the bike hasn't transformed in dozens of episodes. At least a Rider used the sidecar, this time!
